Favourite Text Editor?

[hessiess]

Qedit - it's an old DOS text editor, and I have it installed in DOSBox. It'll let me open ANY file I want so I can look at the crap inside it. Useful for reading hidden messages in viruses, names in files, programs used to create files, etc. I can't seem to find a decent Linux text editor which does that.

For a graphic text editor, it's Leafpad.

Vim can also open any file, including binary files and display them in text or hex.

My Current fav IDE is Netbeans 6.5

My current text editor? well I'm undecided:

I'm in Gnome and I like Gedit.
I also Like Kate, but I'm put off by simple things like colour theme installation not easy.
I'd like to use Vim more, but I'm too busy (lazy) to learn all the shortcuts. I suppose I could use Cream, but that would be cheating
